Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 357 Forward and Forward
"Master, there is one thing that needs to be resolved as soon as possible"
Long Shaogang put away his smile, and his face immediately became serious: "Our army has captured more than 2,000 puppet soldiers from Taiwan, Northeast China, North Korea and other places. These puppet soldiers worked hard for the Japanese, but they were consumed as cannon fodder, and they were ready to use them to save medicine and hate the Japanese to death. Now those puppet soldiers are clamoring to join our new Second Division to fight the devil division together, what do you say? ”
Wu Ming groaned for a while and said, "The Korean soldiers don't want it, and they will all be sent to Nanjing, which will give Chairman Jiang a headache." As for the other puppet troops, they can be ⊥ to expose themselves, who are loyal to the Japanese devils, and who are forcibly pulled into the army by the Japanese, they must know the truth. We have to rely on the majority to fight against those die-hard Japanese loyalists. ”
"Of course, I believe that the vast majority of Chinese are not willing to give their lives to the Japanese. From these people, we can select a part as a reservist. During this period, they can be ⊥ to listen to the programs of Radio Phoenix and carry out appropriate grievance campaigns to arouse their hatred of the Japanese. ”
"Involve the intelligence services in recruiting soldiers, and buy some of them as our intelligence officers, so that we don't know what is going on."
"Got it"
Long Shaogang nodded and carefully recorded Wu Ming's request.
Now it's time to report on the losses of the new 2nd Division.
As soon as he thought of the huge casualty figures, Long Shaogang's eyes were a little red, and his heart was panicked, so he continued to report with grief and indignation:
"Division, this time our troops have suffered great losses, the first brigade is completely disabled, the whole brigade adds up to less than two battalions, and many battalions and companies have only a few officers left. The situation of the Second Brigade was better, but Zhou Juncheng's regiment was basically lost, and Wu Guohua's regiment suffered a small half of the casualties."
"I know the way"
Wu Ming responded, his face was also ugly.
In the face of the superior firepower of the Japanese army, this kind of positional warfare that only knows the defense of the road is not the style that the new second division is good at, and under the condition that the Japanese army has air and sea supremacy, it is worth annihilating an entire division of the Japanese army at such a cost
Kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred
But it can be imagined that now the Pinghu and Kip Shi Field Hospitals must be overcrowded, Wu Ming secretly exhaled a turbid breath.
Affected by Wu Ming's negative emotions, everyone was a little depressed.
Long Shaogang saw that the atmosphere was heavy, and he smiled: "Shizuo, you don't know what to do, when we occupied the regimental headquarters of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army in Qiuwei Village, that self-cutting Suematsu Shigeru, because the personal guards had no experience in cutting off heads, as a result, his neck was cut four or five times in a row and his head was not cut off, and he was so painful that he lay on the ground and hummed, or our soldiers died after mending their guns."
"Yu Ma mends the gun, this kind of diehard should let him be tortured well" Zhang Ying pursed her lips disdainfully
Wu Ming smiled slightly and asked, "How many troops do we have to attack Xincang Town now?" Are all the ministries ready for night battles? ”
Long Shaogang nodded: "Division, Luo Yuming commands the left wing, and Yang Si first commands the right wing, running towards Xincang Town from the northwest and southwest respectively. Previously, Moharu Sumatsu had evacuated the defenders of the entire area, and there was only one squadron of about 150 soldiers in Shinkura to defend it, even if the retreating Japanese troops were included, it was estimated that they would add up to less than a brigade. We will have high morale and should be able to take new positions soon. ”
At this time, Lu Kuiyuan led a few people up to the hill and strode to Wu Ming. Lu Kuiyuan didn't care about wiping the beads of sweat off his face, reported to Wu Ming what happened in the night battle hospital, and explained the situation of Chen Fang and several other underground CCP members one by one. After the last moment, Lu Kuiyuan asked with some concern: "Division, people are detained in the division headquarters, and now it is the time when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating to resist Japan, how should Chen Fang deal with them?" ”
Wu Ming said with regret: "Although what happened in the field hospital was not their intention, after all, this kind of behavior has brought great physical and mental damage to our wounded and sick, doctors, nurses, and nursing staff. In this case, the wounded among them will be properly treated, and then they will be given some silver dollars, medicines, guns and ammunition, and presented as a gift to our new 2nd Division."
After listening to Wu Ming's opinion, Lu Kuiyuan immediately agreed, and then his face was annoyed: "Shizao, it was a Japanese female spy named Chiaki Ye who caused chaos in the field hospital, but unfortunately she ran so fast that she escaped from our encirclement, this time it was a shame to be ......."
At that time, Lu Kuiyuan laid a large net around the field hospital, blocked all the traffic arteries, and then led people to conduct a carpet search, vowing to catch Qianqiu Yezi.
Who knew that Chiaki Leaf disguised herself as a frightened nurse, and ran to the two guards guarding the stone bridge to the west and said that she needed protection, and when the two half-believing guards checked their documents, Chiaki Leaf suddenly swung out two flying knives and directly dropped the two guards.
When Lu Kuiyuan arrived with people, Qianqiu Yezi had already fled without a trace, leaving only the corpses of the two guards who were getting cold, which made Lu Kuiyuan's face turn green.
"Take the lessons of this time, our opponents are deliberate, so we can't take it lightly at any time." Wu Ming shook his head after speaking. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has set the goal of marching on the mainland, sending a large number of spies to China every year, and it is not surprising that a shrewd female spy like Chiaki Hako appeared.
Lu Kuiyuan continued to report: "The Japanese army that attacked the division headquarters has been identified as the Yoshino Brigade under the direct jurisdiction of the 114th Division. It has been learned that this brigade was formed just a few days ago, and its officers and men were elite and strong generals drawn from the entire division, and Captain Yoshino was originally an operational staff officer of the division and regimental headquarters, and he was very strategic. In the early hours of this morning, they took advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak across the East Lake on a raft, and then, with the help of the leaves of the Qianqiu, entered a village by the lake where the villagers had been evacuated, hidden, and waited for the opportunity to move......"
Hearing what Lu Kuiyuan said so much, Wu Ming waved his hand and interrupted him: "What I want is what happened to this Yoshino brigade after the result?" ”
Listening to Wu Ming's question, Lu Kuiyuan's face was hot, and he said dejectedly: "After the encounter between the Yoshino Brigade and the officers and soldiers of our militia regiment, a fierce battle broke out, and our guard battalion followed the attack, and most of the Japanese army was wiped out...... Falling short"
did not annihilate all the Japanese troops who attacked the division headquarters, Lu Kuiyuan felt very faceless, he was sorry for the trust of the division commander Wu Ming, and he was sorry for the hope of all the officers and soldiers of the new second division.
"Okay, I can't blame you for this, the situation on the battlefield today is too complicated, even I didn't expect it in advance"
Wu Ming didn't care too much about the whereabouts of the small group of Japanese troops, after all, now that the 114th Division had been defeated on all fronts, the most important thing at present was to take Xincang, Quangongting and Jinshanwei in one go, seize the Japanese army's baggage and logistics materials, and threaten the 6th and 18th Divisions and the Guozaki Detachment in the north from the flank, and respond to the retreating Nationalist troops from the Songhu battlefield.
Hearing Wu Ming say this, Lu Kuiyuan still blamed himself a little, after all, the division commander almost died in the sneak attack of the Japanese army, and he didn't capture the culprit, which is really unreasonable.
Wu Ming glared at him angrily and said, "Okay, don't patronize and regret it." Now I'm giving you a task, do you dare to take it? ”
"What task?" Lu Kuiyuan's spirits perked up, and then he was a little angry: "Look down on people, what tasks are there that our spies dare not accept?" ”
Wu Ming turned his head and gave Dai Ziran a look.
Dai Ziran was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and pulled Lu Kuiyuan aside to explain that the special agent company was responsible for selecting elite soldiers and strong generals from the puppet army to enrich the reserve force of the new Second Division.
The brains of the officers and men of the special service company are very active, although many of them are not suitable for coming out to lead the troops, but their eyesight is very good, whether the soldiers can become talents, they can understand it at a glance, and then take targeted training to hand over the puppet army to the special service company to manage, and those veteran soldiers will have to take off a layer of skin even if they do not die.
After Wu Ming handed over Lu Kuiyuan to Dai Ziran, he left Long Shaogang to continue to coordinate the battle situation, and he took Zhang Ying and Chengyuan back to the division headquarters.
Although the command post of Fuzhen Temple was destroyed by the Japanese fleet artillery group covering and shooting, fortunately, the division headquarters of Pinghu Mo's Manor was safe and sound, sometimes Wu Ming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought about it, if he didn't temporarily move the division headquarters, the Japanese naval guns directly bombarded Mo's Manor, it is estimated that Pinghu County would have been bleeding at this time.
To some extent, his unintentional actions saved this thousand-year-old city.
Back at the county headquarters, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Under the cover of night, the light of several horse lamps illuminated the room brightly, the canteen of the division headquarters had already prepared a meal, Wu Ming had just sat down to drink porridge and nibble on steamed buns, and there was an urgent report from the front line, Wu Ming hurriedly threw down the steamed buns and walked to the war room next door.
Sun Chengyuan hurriedly brought two steamed buns to Wu Ming and followed out of the canteen.
The resistance of the Japanese army in Xincang Town was unexpectedly sparse, and the besieging officers and soldiers easily took this strategic point with a charge, and now all units of the New Second Division are continuing to expand their results in the east and south.
In order to win the battle of the new Second Division, the 114th Division transferred all the Japanese troops stationed on the front line of Quangongting and Jinshanwei, and now the Japanese defense on the entire front line of Hangzhou Bay is extremely empty.
Under such circumstances, Long Shaogang ordered the second brigade commander Yang Sixian to lead his troops south to attack Quangongting, and the first brigade commander Luo Yuming led the main force to rush to Jinshanwei.
Now that Yang Sixian's troops have occupied the two defensive positions of the Japanese army in the northwest of Longhu Town, it is only a matter of time before they take the town, and the next step will be to attack the landing point of the Japanese army in Quangongting.
There were sporadic gunshots in the night, and Wu Ming came to the map to check it carefully.
"Master, you don't have to worry, Brigade Commander Yang will definitely be able to take down the Quangong Pavilion," Zhang Ying walked to Wu Ming's side and comforted him.
"I'm not worried about Yang Sixian, not to mention that Luo Crooked Mouth is extremely empty now that Quangong Pavilion and Jin Shanwei are extremely empty, if they can't take it, then they have to obediently go back to our military academy for two years."
Wu Ming said with a smile, and then sighed: "Our new Second Division has achieved unprecedented victory since the Anti-Japanese War, but the national army is on the verge of collapse in the overall battle situation.
Thinking that the 700,000 Nationalist troops in the Shanghai area were now fleeing to the national defense line in a panic, Zhang Ying felt heavy and couldn't help but raise her head and look at the large map of Songhu that the staff officers had already marked the offensive and defensive postures of the enemy and us.
On the battlefield ahead, Yang Sixian also gathered in front of the horse lantern to look at the map.
After defeating the Xincang defenders in one fell swoop, Yang Sixian immediately led his men to Longhu Town, taking advantage of the enemy's chaos to take the outer positions in one fell swoop, and then entered the town and defeated the remnants of the enemy. Subsequently, Yang Si first left a company to clean up the battlefield, and then led his troops to attack the Japanese landing point in Quangongting.
This kind of rhythm of high-speed advancement, if the officers and men of the original Second Brigade were replaced, there would certainly be no problems, but after the officers and men of the supplementary brigade were transferred many times, the number of new recruits increased, and their physical fitness was relatively poor, and they were a little uncomfortable, and many people were seriously overdrawn in physical strength, but the fierce attack like a hurricane under the morale of the rainbow was really not something that the Japanese army could resist, and the devils were about to collapse at the touch of a button, and the counterattack had not yet fought a tough battle.
Although the Japanese troops at the Quangongting landing site continued to resist stubbornly, Yang Sixian had already seen their fate, and those who offended our Chinese would be punished even if they were far away
Yang Si put down the map first, stood up and glanced left and right, everyone had an excited expression.
Although many of the officers came from the supplementary brigade and were relatively unfamiliar, the desire for victory and the passion for fighting bravely to kill the enemy were the same as those of the old subordinates. Yang Sixian glared at the tiger, and ordered loudly to everyone: "Attack later, if you don't use all your strength, even if Lao Tzu lets him go, the brothers who died in our new second division will not let him go." Remember, the Japs don't live their mouths"
"Yes"
The officers nodded heavily, and then scattered.
